I haven't done much coding in recent months, apart from some minor tinkering (with TMLookup and LF Aligner). Now I'm in the mood for some more serious work, if a worthy and doable objective comes up. So, I'm open to input. Are people using TMLookup? Is it worth developing? I don't get download statistics from the website but I suspect the userbase is quite small. Still, if there is interest, I might fiddle with it. What features do users want?
There are two big outstanding issues: searching multiple dbs in parallel, and ensuring Win8/Win10 compatibility. The former is an ominous job that is so unappetizing that I've been putting it off since the start of the project. The second is something I will have to look into if the project is to keep going long term. If you want to help with Win10 testing, raise your hand. [/quote]
(1) I would love to be able to just point TMLookup at a specific folder of TMXs, and have it automatically index all TMXs contained therein. If I were then to delete certain TMXs from the folder, and re-run TMLookup, it would automatically remove the deleted TMXs from its index. Basically, what LogiTerm (which costs $795.00) can do. That would be amazing.
(2) My second big feature request relates to pretranslation. I would love to be able to use TMLookup to Pretranslate files, producing a TMX. Another of LogiTerm's tricks.
